About this variety

Machine-translated, may contain errors.

An English enthusiasts' variety with long, evenly shaped roots and fine, smooth skin, little core and plenty of tender flesh. It is among the best tasting open pollinated parsnips and is at the same time considered robust to grow. You grow it in deep, stone free soil and harvest late, ideally after the first frosts, when its sweetness comes through fully. Open pollinated and therefore true to type.

Decidedly sweet with a fine aroma and tender flesh, a highlight in winter roasted vegetables.
